BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for a career-high 136 yards and two touchdowns, and the New England Patriots beat the New York Jets 30-21 with a vastly improved defense Sunday.
Tom Brady had another strong game, completing 24 of 33 passes for 321 yards and one touchdown as the Patriots scored at least 30 points for the 13th consecutive regular-season game.
Meanwhile, New York’s Mark Sanchez had another tough one, passing for just 166 yards against the team that entered with the NFL’s lowest-ranked defense. One week earlier, he threw for just 119 yards in a 34-17 loss at Baltimore.
